Netgear EX2700 Reset Location

Locate the dedicated physical Reset pinhole or recessed button shown in the diagram. Use a paperclip or SIM eject tool to press and hold according to the steps below.

Reset Button / Pinhole LED Blink Confirmation

Soft Reset (Power Cycle)

Unplug the Netgear EX2700 from its wall outlet.
Wait about 10–15 seconds.
Plug it back in and wait for the Power LED to turn solid.

Factory Reset (Restore Defaults)

Ensure the Netgear EX2700 is powered on and the Power LED is solid.
Locate the recessed Factory Reset button on the extender (typically on the bottom or side).
Use a paperclip or pin to press and hold the reset button for about 5–10 seconds until LEDs blink, indicating reset.
Release the button and wait a couple of minutes while the extender reboots and restores factory settings.
After reset, the EX2700 will broadcast the default NETGEAR_EXT network again and will need to be set up from scratch using WPS or manual browser-based setup.

Warning: Resetting your NETGEAR extender will erase saved settings such as WiFi names, passwords, and custom options. Always try a simple power cycle (unplug, wait 10–15 seconds, plug back in) before performing a factory reset. If you do factory reset, make sure you know your router’s WiFi name (SSID) and password because you’ll need to set up the extender again from scratch.
